We describe an engaging interactive robot and the workflow design for incorporating such service robots in health care. The research is analyzing the long term usability of automated medication support for older people as they interact with a Stationary Robotic Medication Management System (StRoMMS). It delivers timely instructions and automated guidance as people take their daily medications in their independent living quarters in a retirement village. A pilot user study evaluated the hypothesized technological requirements of the robotic system and the clinical workflow requirements in the healthcare context. The novel contributions are our interactive robot and the workflow design. Following a “system of systems” design approach we determined that robots cannot work in isolation in a complex operational space such as healthcare. The value of introducing interactive robots in healthcare can be realized when the robot has interfaces with the healthcare system, which enhance the overall outcome and experience of the patient. Our research will inform the research community of the importance of the confluence of people, workflows and tools while designing healthcare robotics technology.

The accuracy estimation of detection of extrasystoles in heart rate sequences is investigated. Decision making is based on detection of short-term specific random elements in non-stationary random sequences recognition theory application and mathematical modelling. The decision opens a possibility to develop wearable, green - energy saving equipment for long-term heart rate variability monitoring of ubiquitous, unobtrusive people: active young people, living alone and ageing seniors. The experimental results are presented.

One of the determining factors for the correct execution of resistance training (RT) is the determination of the resistance, the fatigue generated by the resistance has a direct relation to the execution speed of the exercise. This work aims designing and testing a system to measure the execution speed of the exercise in RT using an accelerometer. The prototype was tested using a pulldown machine. The curve of execution speed of the resistance training was obtained using a mathematical calculation software.

Telemedicine introduces new challenges in adapting health care supply to face the demographic trends and sustain the introduction of advanced technologies in home care medicine. This implies harmonisation and standardisation frameworks. A group of French experts have anticipated the need, creating a think tank to promote projects on medical device communication in the home and involve in standardisation bodies.

This paper serves to share Hong Kong's experience in the modernization of traditional Chinese Medicine through application of modern technology. CMIS, short for Chinese Medicine Information System, is a comprehensive computerized clinical management system which supports and assists clinical and non-clinical staff with their daily workflow at the clinics. The seven modules: registration and appointment, billing, assessment, consultation, dispensing and inventory management, clinical intelligence as well as management reports work together to consolidate all the real-time information related to the operation of a Chinese medicine clinic. Record sharing was made possible through this centralized CMIS system. At the moment CMIS serves 16 clinics across Hong Kong. Two new Chinese Medicine Center for Training and Research (CMCTRs) managed under tripartite collaboration agreement among Hospital Authority, local universities and local NGOs are scheduled to be established during 2013-2015. Eventually there will be 18 CMCTRs in total. Serving one CMCTR in every district in Hong Kong, CMIS paves the path to future patient-centered electronic health record (eHR).

This paper presents a personalized middleware for mobile eHealth (mHealth) services for use in the Ubiquitous Consumer Wireless World (UCWW). The middleware was developed based on the ISO/IEEE 11073 personal health data (PHD) standards. It works as a multi-agent system (MAS) to provide intelligent collection of physiological data from medical sensors attached to human body, and subsequent sending of gathered data to a log data node by utilizing the Always Best Connected and best Served (ABC&S) communication paradigm. A number of design issues associated with the middleware implementation are outlined.

With the development of sensor and wireless communication technologies, the concept of body sensor networks (BSNs) is proposed in recent years. BSNs are used to measure a large number of vital signs of the human body. Body sensor devices are typically powered by batteries and difficult to replace, so energy efficient medium access control (MAC) protocols, which can perform medium access mechanism with less energy are necessary. In this paper, we propose a novel energy saving MAC protocol for mobile BSNs based on time division multiple access (TDMA). An uplink, downlink asymmetric network architecture is introduced. A changeable access and sleep frame format as well as a routing algorithm are proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed MAC protocol achieves lower energy consumption than IEEE 802.15.6.

The falling price of mobile devices with high mobile subscriber penetration rate provides an opportunity to create an affordable mobile solution to disseminate and gather health related information in remote areas in a real time. These solutions come with data security and privacy challenges, and many existing mobile data collection systems (MDCS) do not systematically address very important security issues which are critical when dealing with sensitive and private health information. Insecure storage, in particular, is one of the major challenges in mobile security. In this paper, building on our previous work, we present a solution to storage security issues for data collection systems running on the Java ME platform. Our secure storage scheme is flexible enough to be integrated in existing mobile client applications without requiring significant changes, and offers a cost-effective way for ensuring data protection and authorization, account and data recovery mechanisms, and multiuser management.We use openXdata as our reference MDCS and the secure solution has been successfully integrated and evaluated in a prototype system.

Breast cancer-related lymphedema (LE) is one type of incurable progressive chronic disease caused by cancer treatment or surgery that damages a patient's lymphatic system. Many patients are unaware of available treatment and places to seek for help with LE. This paper introduces a framework for a mobile application package for LE patients or patients at-risk to 1) locate available trained therapists using embedded Google Map technology; 2) monitor disease progression using profile match and rules mining; and 3) acquire up-to-date LE research findings based on patient characteristics. It aims to increase patients' accessibility to available resources and improve patient's quality of life by a mHealth-driven disease management approach.

The goal of the system framework (e-Hospice+) is to create an Electronic Health Record (EHR) System which can be used by medical clinic to provide special healthcare services to hospice care patients. The framework allows both web-based and mobile-based healthcare application frameworks to be created to satisfy a variety of needs of clinical personnel. The web-based applications are performed at the clinic as a main source of information and services to patients and service providers. The mobile-based applications are run on smartphones and used by clinicians during their visits the patients. The EHR data can be exchanged between application servers and smartphones using web services. The design framework focuses on the three key areas: data design, user interface, and data Security and privacy.
